The whole way back to the wall, Levi wouldn't stop glaring at Marco. Unlike everyone else, he had never seen him until now, and he also doesn't trust him. He was presumed dead, his eyes aren't natural, and he knew about Reiner and Bertholdt. He also had a bad vibe surrounding, and he learned to trust his instincts.
By the time they had gotten to the wall Marco had fallen asleep. His arms were around Jean, and his mouth was slightly open. The Survey Corps all went to their own barracks, except for Levi squad. They kept riding until they got to a small cottage surrounded by woods. Everyone seemed to want to go to their rooms and go to sleep, but Levi stopped them and told them to sit down.
"Why do I have to listen to you, old man?" Marco peered down at Levi ,disgusted.
"Because I saved your ass."
"The way I remember it, I was the one who let you know who the titans were."
"And I could have left your ass back in titan territory."
Marco paused and tilted his head.
"Fair point."
After everyone had settled and Eren got Levi some tea, Levi insisted that Marco told everyone what he knew.
"The way I take it, everyone thought you were dead, you knew about the Armored and Colossal titan, and they knew about you."
The freckled goody-goody turned bad ass glanced at everyone at the table. He knew all of them since before he was overcome by hatred and revenge. He paused at Jean and the fun times they used to have. He told himself that he wouldn't, but it was hard not to.
"You know what, fine." Marco sighed and sunk into his chair. So this was the way it was gonna be.
"Once upon a time there was these three assholes that were spewing bullshit and some innocent fucker overheard. So those assholes decided to kill the innocent fucker. He survived and yada yada..."
Levi was tired of Marco's sarcastic remarks. He was too tired from the expedition for his shit. He stood up from his chair and walked towards him, silently. Marco smirked. He knew he would get tired eventually. However, instead of heading upstairs he stood right in front of Marco. He barely opened his mouth when the captain punched him square in the face. Marco was going for his face but Levi dodged it. He grabbed his worn down jacket and kneed him in the gut. Hard.
Jean was starting to get up but Mikasa grabbed his arm.
"If you get in the middle of them you'll get crushed to pulp."
Mikasa wasn't even looking at him. She was right. Levi was humanity's strongest and who knows what Marco's been up to.
Marco fell down to the floor and spat some blood.
Jean skittered to Marco and helped him up.
"Tell him everything you know, or he'll do worse." Jean whispered in his ear.
"Yeah, well I've been through worse."
Marco wiped the blood off his face and laughed.
"There's nothing else to it!"
Levi growled
"Then if two trained and powerful titan shifters wanted you dead, how are you still alive!"
Marco paused and held up a finger.
"Good question."
He stood up and looked down at Levi.
"I have no idea how I'm still alive, and all I know is that those sons of bitches are gonna die a gruesome death."
Connie gasped in shock.
"Marco, what's wrong with you."
Marco looked at Connie with an empty face.
"You really are an idiot."
